Import Tips
• Use refrigerated containers with data loggers; common error is shipments warming above 0°C, leading to frozen reclassification
• Provide fishery certificate of origin to meet sustainability reporting under NOAA
• Ensure no shell-on classification error, as squid lack shells unlike cuttlefish
